New tagging system
Google has announced the introduction of a new tagging system in the Google Photos service. Starting next week, users will be able to see special marks indicating the use of artificial intelligence in photo editing.
Extended image information
In addition, the service will provide information about composite images created from several different photos. This feature aims to increase transparency and awareness among users about the origin and processing of content.
New feature availability
The AI info section containing detailed information about the use of artificial intelligence will be available in the image details as in web versions of Google Photos and in the mobile application. It is important to note that labeling will not be limited to generative AI use cases.
Enhanced experience for Pixel users
Google also plans to flag when photos contain elements from different images. This is especially true when using features like Best Take and Add Me on Pixel smartphones. This innovation will allow users to better understand how their photos were created or modified.

I wonder how this will affect the credibility of photos on the Internet? 🤔 Maybe now it will become easier to distinguish real photos from edited ones.
Hans
Yes, Olivia, this is a step in the right direction. But I don’t think this will stop those who want to deceive. They will simply use other tools without such labels.
Sophie
I agree with Hans. Although this is useful, it does not completely solve the problem. I wonder if other platforms will follow Google's lead? 🤷♀️
Pedro
I think this is a great idea! Especially useful for journalists and researchers. Now it will be easier to verify the authenticity of a photo. 👍
Klaus
Bah! Another useless feature. Previously, people simply believed their eyes, but now they need some kind of marks. The world is going to hell.
Sophia
Klaus, times are changing. This feature can help combat misinformation. Although I agree that critical thinking is still important.
Dmitry
I wonder how this will affect the work of photographers? 📸 Maybe there will be a new trend for unedited photos?
Olivia
Dmitry, great idea! Maybe this will lead to more value in natural, unprocessed shots. It would be great to see such a trend! 😊
